The Hallucinating Goose 2,883 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 What happens if a player runs out of tags? Do they just stop while the player goes and gets some more?? Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure, but they all have lots of spares, and can probably have some more brought to them by the team staff, when the action isn't directly involving them, and of course during stoppages. 1 "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Futtocks 17,043 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 This is also the Welsh team's first match in proper competition-style chairs, by the way, so I'm sure this is a steep learning curve right in every way for them.

The Hallucinating Goose 2,883 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 HT. England 42-10 Wales Must say, I've never watched much wheelchair league at all but that was really enjoyable! A lot faster, a lot more physical than I was expecting and some great skills on show, especially the handling, much of the catching and throwing being one-handed. Yeah, great fun that!

It is so much more like Rugby than the Olympic version, too. "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Yeah I was thinking during that first half that it was amazing how similar the rules are to a regular game of rugby league, there really wasn't much different there apart from players obviously not being tackled to the ground. Every other rule seemed to be enforced just as it would be in any other version of RL. Interesting you mention the Olympics there as well because I was actually thinking, would this be RL's way into the Olympics? Obviously union got into the Olympics with an alternative version of their game, could we do the same here?? Link to post Share on other sites

Olympic Wheelchair Rugby is well established and has a big international footprint, so the Paralympics people would probably see it as muddying the waters if they introduced a different version. It'd be nice if it happened, though. "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.
